Photo booth Project

Principles of Art & Design cont.

http://www.school-of-digital-photography.com/2014/01/photography-composition-tips-balance.html

To continue your study of composition in Photography, you will extend what you did in the last assignment by combining those same Principles into 3 different compositions.  

Again you will be using Photo Booth images, again the dimensions will be 7" x 7" @ 300ppi, and again you will label each composition you create when posting it to your Blog.

Procedure

Select one Principle form the list of Principles below (only from the orange-highlighted ones) and combine it in a design with three other Principles. You will make three separate designs based on the three combinations.

Example:
              Design 1...........Rhythm+Balance 
              Design 2...........Rhythm+Emphasis
              Design 3...........Rhythm+Proportion

Post your compositions to your Blog.

List of Principles

Rhythm: A principle of design that indicates movement, created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to cause a visual tempo or beat.

Balance: A way of combining elements to add a feeling of
equilibrium or stability to a work of art. Major types are
symmetrical and asymmetrical.

Emphasis (Contrast):
A way of combining elements to stress the differences
between those elements.

Proportion: A principle of design that refers to the relationship of certain elements to the whole and to each other.

Gradation: A way of combining elements by using a series of gradual changes in those elements. (large shapes to small shapes, dark hue to light hue, etc)

Harmony: A way of combining similar elements in an artwork to accent their similarities (achieved through use of repetitions and subtle gradual changes)

Variety: A principle of design concerned with diversity or
contrast. Variety is achieved by using different shapes,
sizes, and/or colors in a work of art.

Movement: A principle of design used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide the viewer’s eye throughout the work of art.

Unity (Gestalt): Unity creates an integrated image in which all the elements are working together to support the design as a whole. A unified design is greater than the sum of its parts.
